ARPGs are...

Postby MusashiEX » Tue Apr 10, 2007 10:04 am

...really fun. I just started playing Diablo and Elder Scrolls games and I realized, once again, how fun they are. Too bad my online character's expired. Anyway, I just got TESIV and it's awesome. The graphics are excellent, and the fast travel option is much needed. Anyone else like these games? My friends are hate them.

In conclusion, Final Fantasy still sucks.

TES is nice for a while but you get burned out fast, by the way, if you are looking for a decent single-player ARPG pick up Nox.

Imp: Not to mention heretic given the fact FF7 is basicaly about destroying the jewish god :P

I enjoyed TES: Morrowind immensely, and Nox! Now that's a game I haven't heard mentioned in a while. A lot of fun for sure.

That's because its sales were so bad Weswood tried to remove it from history :P

I played Nox. It wasn't that good. It was actually why I didn't play TESIV for so long. The story was stupid. Time travel? What the hell? C&C:RA had a better story than that, and it had teleportation. By the way, I still didn't finish Arena. It is extremely hard.

Arena is the epitome of old school difficulty. They made games to last back then. They didn't have the power of making hours of content so instead they give you hours of retry.

That's too bad. Add a level editor and some mods and I think you could have had the basis for a great community game. I know I would have loved to make some levels for Nox.

Nox's story wasn't that bad. Of course I despise the cliched "Real-world-person-sucked-into-fantasy-world-through-computer/TV" beginning, but once you get past that, you have a standard not-too-shabby fantasy plot.

By the way, I liked to play Nox as a Conjurer, and my favorite spell might have been the one where the stone fist slams down from heaven as a choir sings. :D

Once you get the fire Chakram Warriors are doubtlessly the best, but until then Wizards and Conjurers are both better because they can deal with hordes of zombies quickly without takeing any damage. (and can Ski on bears)

People don't apprieciate it's politically driven story. They'd rather have a sappy love story.

Sappy love stories are the ones where noone dies right?

People die in FF Games all the time... in fact, they do in every one.
In this day and age, an era where there are people who actually throw shit at each other, anything, could be possible.
